Looking for a dessert that's both delicious and easy to make? Look no further than this Gingerbread Pear Tart recipe! This dessert is perfect for any occasion, whether you're hosting a dinner party or just looking for a sweet treat to enjoy with your family.
To make this Gingerbread Pear Tart, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 ripe pears, peeled and sliced
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the molasses and egg, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan, making sure to press it up the sides of the pan. Arrange the sliced pears on top of the dough in a circular pattern.
Bake the tart for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the pears are tender. Let the tart cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
This Gingerbread Pear Tart is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy, with a tender crust and juicy pears. It's a great dessert to serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
